Because they have been told it matters. That's it.

Trump recently joked on stage at a rally that nobody cared about trans issues 5 years ago. The audience laughed. I don't think either side of that incident had enough self-awareness to realize what that statement implies.

@QHC the amount of things that whole statement implies is staggering, not least of which being that none of them are considering trans people to be "anybody"... sigh, this world....
